Second trustee makes bid for Montgomery mayor
By Judy Pochel For The Beacon-News December 6, 2012 1:28PM
Montgomery Village President Matthew Brolley
Updated: December 7, 2012 9:41AM
MONTGOMERY — A second village trustee has announced his bid for mayor in the spring election.
Matt Brolley, 31, a lifelong resident of the village, said he has decided to run for the top job against fellow Trustee Bill Keck.
Two other residents — Tom Campbell and Greg Nelson — also have taken out petitions to run for mayor.
Longtime Mayor Marilyn Michelini announced last month that after 25 years in politics she is retiring.
In announcing his bid, Brolley said he basically disagrees with the way Keck possibly would govern.
"Over the last six years I have seen his (Keck's) theory on governing a community. I disagree. He references doing things on a case-by-case basis. I disagree and think it is important to treat it all the same," Brolley said.
"My vision of the future is to be business friendly but a better motto would be vision smart," Brolley said.
He said the recent rejection of an LED billboard proposed along Orchard Road is an example of taking a view of the area as a whole.
"We know we want to develop the Orchard Road corridor; are they going to want to build if we allow LED billboards."
Candidate filing for the April 9 election begins Dec. 17 and runs through 5 p.m., on Dec. 26.

Some getaways need to be quick and cheap. From Northern Europe this is just as true as anywhere else. Where North American have the Caribbean Islands and Central America, Europeans have even easier and cheaper access to the Mediterranean for warm water getaways almost all year round. The southern and western coast of Turkey is of particular appeal because if offers a little bit more. A sense of escape to somewhere exotic. With easy vacation packages and discount carrier flights to places like Bodrum Turkey, packing a bag is all that needs to be done. Tucking into a kebab and pita while strolling the harbour will feel as easy as a stroll down to the corner shop.

The seaside stroll and a belly full of kebab out of the way it is off to explore. It is obvious which direction to head. The town is not large and there are a few things that will stand out even if you ignore the taxis and tourist maps. Fans of Roman and Greek history will find both ruins and the Museum of Underwater Archeology a worthwhile day or two of exploration. Those with an interest in Crusaders will be drawn to the Castle built by the Knights Hospitaller.
Photo Credit: yilmaz ovunc
After that you are just going to relax. This town is on an arid peninsular. There are no vineyards, orchards or lovely country farms to tour. You are here for the sun and a chance to disconnect. Pull up a lounger, get out that book you have been meaning to read and settle in for the duration. It is good for you. Sure, you are going to stroll the town a few times as you decide which taverna will entertain you for the evening but don't be thinking it will take all day or a whole bunch of research. Relax, this is about slowing down. Have a little something traditional and refreshing for lunch.
Photo Credit: Michal Osmenda
Don't panic if you need to do something and the town feels too small. Hop on one of the ferries and visit another small island nearby. Pack you passport because you are heading to Greece, although it will look very familiar. On second thought, that lounge chair may be just the thing you need.

Are you desperate to get your hands on your favourite band's up and coming concert tickets? There's nothing like the excitement of booking tickets to a gig.
Well, if you're an American Express cardholder, you might just be able to get your hands on those tickets in advance.
Advanced Ticket Access
All American Express Canada cardholders gain exclusive access to advanced concert tickets. In partnership with TicketMaster, the choice of advanced tickets available is pretty extensive.
You basically gain access to the tickets before they go on sale to the general public. This means you never have to worry about missing out on a concert again. What's more by using Amex credit cards, you get to choose the best seats too.
All you need to do to take advantage of this offer is have enough rewards points. You gain rewards points practically every time you spend on your credit card. There may be a few terms and conditions you need to familiarise yourself with to ensure you're earning points on the purchases you make.
It's worth noting that in order to benefit from this service you need to be enrolled in the Canadian Membership Rewards Program. If you have a corporate card it also won't be eligible. Your AMEX card also needs to be in good standing. This means there shouldn't be any missed repayments or debt on the card.
Redeeming Your Points
If you are interested in redeeming your points towards the concert tickets, you'll need to follow a few simple steps.
It really is that simple to get your hands on the latest tickets. It's just one of many benefits associated with owning an AMEX card.

There are so many things you could in Vegas but what would give you the biggest 'bang for your buck'? In this article we bring you five of the very best things to do in Las Vegas.
Forget about spending the day playing at casino tables or feeding coins to the insatiable slot machines. Our list features attractions for every taste, including free events for those of you travelling on a shoestring budget.
Visit the Neon Museum
Nothing screams out 'Las Vegas' more than the neon signs that grace the facades and tops of buildings around the city.
These tubes of light have guided gamblers to their tables since 1929. You can admire some of the oldest, most venerable neon signs at the Neon Museum in North Las Vegas Boulevard.
The museum has a wide collection of old neon signs and other memorabilia that have witness Las Vegas' changing fortunes.
At the moment, the 150-odd signs in the collection are strewn over a parking lot, but the museum is attempting to recreate itself as a fully-fledged visitors centre, using parts of the lobby that formed the historic La Concha motel no less!
Other examples of famous neon signage include the Moulin Rouge sign designed by Betty Willis and the Aladdin's original lamp.
Visitors should book for tours of the museum well in advance, since this quirky place is fast becoming a tourist favourite. Although gambling these days is often more modern and done online, its history is very much symbolized by the bright glow of the Vegas neon.
Tours run from Tuesday to Friday (at noon and 2pm), and on Saturdays at 9.30am and 11am.
Valley of Fire
Although the glitz and glamour of Vegas may distract you from the fact, this oasis of gambling is actually located in the Nevada desert. So if you feel that you had enough of the casinos and clubs, why not head for some peace and quiet in the desert?
Just an hour's drive away from the centre Las Vegas is the Nevada's oldest state park, the Valley of Fire, a gaping hole in the earth that was cut over millions of years and now boasts some of the most stunning desert scenery in America.
The bright red hue of the stone gives it an almost alien look, something which was capitalised upon by Hollywood in films like Total Recall, Star Trek Generations and, most recently, Need for Speed.
You can explore the area's history and admire its natural beauty all year round. It's up to you whether to make it a camping or hiking trip, or snap photos on a relaxed ride in a jeep or air-conditioned tour bus.
Catch a live show
Fabulous Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without catching one of the many live shows that are held in the hotels and casinos every night.
You can buy tickets relatively cheaply on the same day of the show and some of the most popular offerings at the moment include the fantastic acrobatics of the Cirque Du Soleil troupe, the weird, hypnotising performance of the Blue Man Group, and the delightfully naughty Absinthe show at the Ceasars Palace, which is aimed for a more adult audience.
There's never a dull moment in Vegas and you want to give yourself plenty of time to take it all in and enjoy the show!
Admire the dancing Bellagio fountains
Surely you've seen the perfectly choreographed dancing fountains in front of the Bellagio on video, but nothing beats the experience of seeing them live.
Watch as the lake in front of the Bellagio becomes alive with jets of waters that up to 460 feet in the air and dance to classic Vegas tunes like 'Hey, Big Spender' and 'Luck Be a Lady'. You can catch this unique spectacle (it's free!) every 3 minutes from 3 pm till 8 pm, and every 15 minutes from 8pm till midnight.
Other free Vegas attractions include the Volcano at the Mirage and the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand, where you admire lions eating, playing and sleeping, from a safe distance.
Take a gambling class
It wouldn't be Vegas without a spot of gambling, so surrender to the temptation of Sin City but do it well!
If you want to improve your odds of striking gold in Vegas and avoid losing your shirt, try to attend one of the free gambling lessons that nearly all Las Vegas hotels and casino offer to visitors.
Whether you want to refine your poker skill or roll the dice like a pro in craps, these classes are ideal for beginners and experienced players alike.
These classes won't only teach you the basic rules and strategies of most popular table games, but also help you become more familiar with the etiquette and lingo of the game. This way it will be easier to bluff your way in to the high-rollers section, even without your shirt on!
Las Vegas beckons
So answer the call! The Entertainment Capital of the World has plenty to offer to even the most discerning visitor and with our guide in your hands you can rest assured that your stay in Vegas won't be a gamble, but a holiday to remember.

Tamilnadu tourism is a relatively unknown tourist destination that few travelers are aware of. Where is this hidden gem that offers a wonderful and exciting vacation? It is located in the south-eastern part of the Indian Peninsula. Now India may not be on one's mind when it comes to planning a family vacation. After all, do you really want to go somewhere where there are thousands upon thousands of people? Also, what about your safety, the weather, the expense to get there? Why would I go to Tamilnadu?
Well, for one reason Tamilnadu tourism sites suggest that if you want an out of the way, unique travel experience… then why not take some time and research all that there is to do in Tamilnadu. They say for example that the temple architecture is amazing. Now India is known for its variety of religious temples. However, Tamilnadu is one of the areas with not only the most ancient, but also an area with the most interesting of temple designs. Read More

SAPD Chief backs officer after deadly chase
McManus: Loss of life 'tragic,' but officer followed protocol
San Antonio police Chief William McManus defended the actions of one of his officers Thursday, after she was involved in a deadly high-speed chase on Wednesday.
A suspected drug dealer fled after that officer tried to pull him over, investigators said.
That man, identified as David Rodriguez, reached speeds of over 100 mph fleeing down Interstate 35 South.
McManus said the officer backed off eventually, but he wasn't sure how long that took.
"As soon as she felt it wasn't prudent to continue the chase, she disengaged from the suspect," said McManus.
He said that is exactly what protocol dictates, even doing so before being told to by a supervisor. McManus said the officer also attempted to call in a helicopter for support, but it was too far away on another assignment to get to the scene.
The officer continued to I-35 South, exiting at Shepherd Road, where she saw the vehicle once again.
"The driver attempted to hit her head-on, and when she veered out of the way, it hit the car behind her instead," said McManus.
That car was carrying 3-year-old Walter Maspero, who died upon impact.
His three siblings, his mother, and an unidentified man were also in the car with him. All were taken to an area hospital. His 1-year-old brother, Wesley, is in critical condition. The other three are stable.

When Andrew W.K. blasted into everybody's consciousness with his big, dumb major label debut, I Get Wet, there were naysayers who complained that W.K.'s party-starting antics were a self-aware schtick.
But in this never-before-seen Deeper Dives clip, W.K. explains that the best way to create an honest image that speaks to fans is by being deeply, and intimately, self-aware.

A good place to pass a night or 2. A basic room in a fairly large house. Unfortunately there were beg bugs in my dorm when I was there. PE is a fairly tough place to get a handle on. Not sure how many hostel options there are. The staff is really friendly so give them a chance.

Pictures: Remembering 2003's Hurricane Isabel in Williamsburg
Wednesday, Sept. 18, marks the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Isabel, which plowed through the Peninsula in 2003. Virtually all of greater Williamsburg was without power for days, some neighborhoods for up to two weeks. Local schools were closed for more than a week, and both gas and basic supplies were difficult to find.

Wednesday 25 May, 2011
5 (1,2,2) - Easy Terrain, 200M - 500M ascent, 6Km - 10Km
- Route fully marked
Munster Wednesday League
The run itself is a steady uphill climb for the first 3.5km after which the track levels out and goes clockwise around the top of the hill, before going through a rutted marshy section. The trail improves at the end of the marsh when you swing to the right and back onto solid ground. After about 300 metres you'll hit a T-junction (intersecting the route you took on the way up). Going left at this point takes you back to the cars.
The track is, in general, quite good but is rutted in a number of places and does have one section of bog/marsh which will almost certainly be quite boggy. So you're going to get wet and dirty! Ah yes, the joys of hill-running!
Murroe, Co. Limerick
Race registration is in the carpark opposite Croker's bar in Murroe, Co. Limerick. It will be necessary to carpool from here to the race start (about 3.5km away) as there is very limited parking at the race start location.
OSI grid reference of carpark: R 730 557Google Streetview link
Note that on some maps and sign-posts, Murroe is spelt "Moroe" and despite what it says above, this race is not in Co. Kerry!
This race is open to all and the cost is €5.
Please arrive at 19:00 to give time for race registration.
If you have already run an IMRA race this year, bring your number with you, if not you can speed things up by downloading the membership form and filling it in beforehand, but they will be available on the day as well.
Refreshments afterwards in Croker's Bar in Murroe

Stopped in here for lunch for the first time - recommended by friends. Lunch was delicious and affordable plus close to work. I will be back for sure! Thx, Stann
Great lunch or dinner – Never been disappointed in the dozens of times I visited either for lunch or dinner. I always walk away with a to go bag as the bistro sandwiches are huge. If you are looking at some artisan bread sandwiches or some interesting alternatives like a boule with fresh soup then this is the place to head. They are always crowded so be prepared to wait or just time it off the lunch and dinner prime times.
Rustic, old-world breads and sweet treats are the hallmarks of this locally owned Euro-bistro chain. – The Scene
Bright and airy during the day, this bustling brasserie moodily dims the lights come evening. Everyone seems to eat here: office workers and power brokers for lunch, families for dinner and first dates later at night. The somewhat confusing reservations policy can be summed up thusly: Call early or expect to wait during peak dining hours.
The Food
Served on your choice of gourmet breads, generous sandwiches are available throughout the day. Layering sliced chicken breast, raspberry cream cheese, apples, and veggies on a fruit and nut bread is just one of the ways the staff creates flavorful, textured combinations. While the entrees can sometimes be bland, the artisanal breads and decadent desserts are where Baker's shines. Made-to-order, the dessert crepes--from the light Citron to a heavier hazelnut-chocolate--are big enough to share. The question is why would you?

Fleming paints with his cameraPosted Monday, June 13, 2011, at 3:55 PM
Mac Fleming (By Nick Schneider)
I had that wonderful experience Saturday morning while wandering around the Bloomfield Town Park looking to snap some photos at the Second Annual Paint the Park Bloomfield Art Festival.
It was a pretty normal photo assignment.
Look for people doing something that might make an interesting photo -- leaving a memory of some sort.
I came across a short, elderly man wearing gold-rimmed eyeglasses who had a gray-colored beard. He was standing next to a white tent that was filled with some beautiful framed photographs.
Mac Fleming was wearing a hearing aid and sporting a well-worn cream-colored baseball cap with a bent blue-green bill.
He looked like someone's grandpa, so I struck up a conversation.
In the pocket of his blue shirt was stuffed with an ink pen and a small bulging notebook, from which he pulled a business card and handed it to me.
I introduced myself and he immediately commented in a soft voice with a slight grin etched on his face, "You've got some pretty heavy duty stuff there." Meaning, I was packing some photo equipment that caught his attention -- two digital cameras -- one with a 70/300mm zoom lens, the other equipped with a 28/75mm zoom lens.
The photos that 92-year-old Mac Fleming displayed were very special and inspiring to me as a veteran photographer, who's been snapping images for more than 40 years now.
His work was great.
Mac's work had majestic scenes from the Grand Canyon, landscape views from Clifty Falls State Park, an Ohio River scene with a barge passing the Overlook Restaurant in Leavenworth and beautiful sites taken on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington -- not far from his home.
There were brilliant close-ups of multi-color flowers -- some taken in his backyard, peaceful sailboats, brilliant desert sunsets, coastal and mountain landscape scenes from all over the world.
In several boxes on a table were unframed photos categorized by subject or location.
There were photos from Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland, the Pacific Northwest, Nova Scotia and the New England states.
It was simply an exhibition of great photo work. His use of lighting and different camera speeds to stop the motion of waterfalls was flawless.
Seeing his impressive work made me want to get some of my old images out, frame them and share them with folks, which is a goal of mine to do one of these days.
For Mac, it was the first time bringing his work to Greene County, but he noted that the drive down State Road 45 to State Road 54 to Bloomfield was simply beautiful.
He wants to do it again -- maybe at next year's show.
Mac is a well-traveled guy -- now retired from his previous stint as an audio-visual professor at Indiana University.
"We made instructional motion pictures," Fleming recalled.
He's been snapping photos since before he was a U.S. Army photographer in World War II -- where he marched with his infantry unit in Europe armed with a rifle and a small camera that was attached to a case on his belt, he explained.
Mac, a native of Oregon, recorded front-line war photos for the Army, but he didn't boast or talk about his war era experiences.
He talked photography while tapping his foot on the ground to the rock beat of the Shane Runion Band, who were performing some John Mellencamp and John Mayer tunes on the park's gazebo stage during the art show.
"I've done photography for a hobby for a long time," Mac told me.
He's been involved for years with a group that likes to hike and he enjoys going on those trips with cameras in hand -- hoping to capture a great moment on film or digital image.
"It just so happens that I can walk and got the photography opportunity," Mac said.
When I referred to his golden age, Mac quickly replied with a self-confident smile, "I've to good genes."
He admits that the pace of his photography hobby has slowed down in recent years, but he's got all of his images saved on computer .
He operates Fleming Photo Gallery at Monroe House, Room 23, 2770 South Adams Street in Bloomington.
He sells his plainly-framed signed photo art prints for $25 a piece or two for $40 -- a bargain these days.
"I use a very cheap poster frame. I want to get my pictures out so I decided this is the kind of frame I am going to use so I don't have to charge so much. I could double my price or triple it with a better frame," Mac told me. "If someone wants to put it (the photo) in a better frame they can."
Mac says his working days aren't so planned any more. He helps at Meadowood retirement community as a medical pavilion volunteer and opens his studio on a not-so-regular basis.
If you want to visit the gallery, you can give him a call at 332-3181 to find out when it's open.
The veteran photographer said he just recently joined the Bloomington Photography Club and hopes to meet other camera snapping peers and pick up some new tips.
Mac and his wife still like to travel and of course he still carries his camera -- hoping like most photographers always wanting to shoot that special photo.
"We go here, there and everyplace and occasionally I'll find something to shoot," he modestly said with a chuckle.
Mac's truly enjoying his golden years and making lasting memories in the process.
Meeting Mac, made my day. Being able to photograph him was an extra blessing.

I also met Mac at the Park, but it was not my first time. We had a chance to talk shop last year at the Gallery Walk in Bloomington. Mac is truly a blessing to talk to and his work is a joy to see.

Cleaning Ears
Question about ear cleaning Chihuahua and infections?
Chihuahua ears of my roommates smell raw and deep inside it is shit brown. I can not describe the smell. Should I tell him that they must be cleaned or does this sound like an infection? Perhaps a yeast infection? Or is this normal? Is this common in Chihuahuas? His ears are not bothering him, he does not rub or scratch.
Infections Yeast infections of the ear and most others are extremely itchy – It is likely that the puppy just needs a serious Cleaning Ears. Brown Wax built naturally over time and some dogs have overactive glands that make it even harder to keep. Chihuahuas are not a common breed for entries of hyperactivity (think cocker spaniels and other breeds thick, hairy ears), but it can occur in any race. Once the ears are cleaned, if it comes back quickly and still feels it would be a good idea to have it checked by a veterinarian and make them do a culture.

"Our daughter goes by her middle name, so this announcement was perfect for us! We put her middle name in the script font (brown), full name in white, and stats below in brown. I could not be more pleased! The paper quality, as always, was wonderful. It is much more substantial compared to other vendors."
"As soon as we mailed these cards we immediately began receiving compliments! The picture quality was fantastic and it was printed on good quality paper. They turned out even cuter than I imagined!"
"These turned out great! Instead of putting her first name in the top text box, i put her nickname instead as a way to introduce her. Worked out great. For example, if her name was isabella, and calling her bella, coukd put bella at top."
"We were looking for a "big sibling" card to use, but saw this one and couldn't resist. I love the color combination, particularly the white name in script. It looks adorable."
"What we loved most about our entire Tiny Prints experience was the one-stop-shopping with great design options. Very few placed "get-it" and TP obviously does, from all the little details of matching fonts on envelopes to mailing labels to being able to print a little something on the back of a thank-you card. We will definitely be back to order more event/announcement related items."

text: How Does the USDA Shutdown Hurt? At least one state secretary of agriculture is seeing the pain first hand. Published on: Oct 8, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print No matter what side of the political fence you sit on, the ongoing government shutdown is starting to cause pain. To offer an up-close look at the kind of pain farmers are feeling - beyond the expiration of the farm bill - the Arkansas Agriculture Secretary issued a release and noted that closures for USDA agencies is hurting more than farmers. In his release, Butch Calhoun notes: "Our office has received calls from farmers who have Farm Service Agency farm loans and cannot draw the funds they need to pay bills and other expenses associated with harvest because the FSA offices are closed." He adds that technical and financial assistance from conservation programs has also stopped - that includes the Conservation Reserve Program and Environmental Quality Incentive Program funds. Says Calhoun: "This lack of funding creates a hard ship on many local businesses expecting to get paid this month."SMALL TOWN HURT: With the country shut down, including USDA, the pain is starting to spread. It's that trickle-down impact of the shutdown that hurts small businesses. The big stand on the continuing budget resolution is impacting a range of businesses and services too. Even private-run public parks have had to close even though no federal employees even work on them - it impacts more than 1,000 parks according to the Property and Environment Research Center. And the expired farm bill is starting to get some consumer media attention. Come January 1, consumers may face higher milk prices as 1949 pricing rules from a "permanent" farm bill go into force. Chances are we won't see that happen. At a minimum Congress can just extend the 2008 farm bill. As the shutdown drags on, farmers and others may be happy to see any action take place. In his release, Calhoun urges Congress to pass the continuing resolution and get back to a new five-year farm bill or an extension of the 2008 bill.

2011 Division Preview: AFC West
Story Highlights
The Chargers are simply too talented to miss the playoffs a second straight year
The Chiefs should be a better team, but they'll take a step back in the standings
The Raiders need to play as well outside the division as they do against it
SI.com is previewing all eight divisions throughout the week in anticipation of the 2011 season kicking off. (Send comments to email@example.com)
AFC: North | West | South | East
NFC: North | West | South | East
In each of Norv Turner's first three seasons, the Chargers could start slow, flip the switch and still win the division because the rest of the AFC West was so awful. Kansas City, Oakland and Denver each failed to post a winning record in any season from 2007 to '09, which is the primary reason San Diego was able to claim the division despite a 2-3 start each year.
However, that all changed last season. With San Diego off to a fourth straight 2-3 start under Turner, the Chiefs rose up to win their first AFC West title since 2003. The question now is whether 2010 was an aberration for San Diego or the start of a trend?
What we do know is that the division is much improved from Turner's early years. Kansas City won the West a year ago, but Oakland swept the division with a 6-0 mark. Denver also figures to be more competitive with John Fox taking over for Josh McDaniels.
Still, look for San Diego to bounce back. It plays three of its first four at home -- one against a team (Vikings) breaking in a new quarterback, another against a team (Dolphins) still searching for a capable quarterback and another against a squad (Chiefs) it beat 31-0 at home last season.
The Chargers' fifth game is at Denver, where their only loss in the teams' last five Mile High meetings was 39-38 following a blown call by referee Ed Hochuli.
What the Chargers do best: Score
San Diego is the only team to rank in the top five in scoring each of the past seven seasons. That's saying a lot considering Indianapolis and Peyton Manning failed do it, New England and Tom Brady failed to do it, New Orleans and Drew Brees (since his arrival in 2006) failed to do it, and Green Bay and Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers failed to do it.
What does it mean? Nothing, if you consider those teams/QBs won Super Bowls during that time while the Chargers failed to get past one trip to the conference final. But it is does reflect that if you're going to beat the Chargers, you're either going to have to put up points or play hellacious defense -- or hope their special teams break down like last season (more to come on that).
The lineup is stocked again with playmakers, notably quarterback Philip Rivers, tight end Antonio Gates, wide receivers Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd, and running backs Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolbert. The line is solid, which means another top-five finish is likely in order.
What the Chargers need to improve: Special teams
As I've said before, they were the Keystone Kops of special teams last season. They allowed four returns for scores -- three of them on kickoffs, one shy of the league record -- and had four punts blocked and another deflected. The NFL record for blocked punts allowed is six.
San Diego believes it would have made the playoffs if not for the special teams breakdowns. It responded by replacing assistant Steve Crosby with Rich Bisaccia, whose units were perennially among the league's most respected during his tenure with the Bucs. Some team members say it was time for a change, if only because they had been listening to Crosby's voice for nine years. However, if the unit doesn't show marked improvement, someone else will have to take the fall, and his pay grade will be much higher than Bisaccia's.
Which Charger needs to step up: Running back Ryan Mathews
The Chargers traded up 16 spots to draft Mathews 12th overall last year. Privately, they were disappointed that he didn't make more of an impact last season, when an ankle injury, fumbling problems and a slow transition from college conspired in limiting him to 678 yards rushing and seven scores. Undrafted teammate Mike Tolbert (735 yards, 11 TDs) turned out to be their most consistent and productive back in 2010, and the staff will be quick to turn to him again if Mathews is slow out of the gate. In the meantime, the plan is to expand Mathews' role, particularly in third-down situations now that Darren Sproles has departed for New Orleans.
Predicted record: 13-3
The Chargers' starters are among the best in the league, which means there's no way they should miss the playoffs a second straight year -- particularly with a schedule that sets them up for what should be a 5-1 start. That's huge because of the team's slow starts in each of Norv Turner's first four seasons.
What the Chiefs do best: Run the ball
The Chiefs, who averaged a league-leading 164.2 yards rushing per game last season, can play smashmouth or finesse. They had an NFL-high 258 rushes of at least four yards, but also tied for seventh with 15 carries of 20 yards or longer -- three of which went for 50 or more. That was one behind Oakland.
The speedy Jamaal Charles (1,467 yards and 5 TDs on 230 carries) was their big-play threat, while veteran Thomas Jones (896, 6, 245) was the grinder. The impact of these two was reflected in the passing game, where wide receiver Dwayne Bowe set career receiving highs for yards (his 1,162 yards were 140 more than his previous high), yards per catch (16.2, which was two yards higher than his previous best) and touchdowns (15, which was one fewer than his total for the three previous seasons combined).
What the Chiefs need to improve: Diversify their passing game
It speaks volumes that after Bowe's 72 catches last season, no other K.C. wideout had more than 22 receptions. The lack of other perimeter threats made it easy for the Ravens to erase Bowe in their playoff meeting. They put a man in front and another over the top, which resulted in Bowe not being targeted at least once in a game for the first time in his career.
The Chiefs addressed the problem by drafting Jonathan Baldwin (who is out for the preseason after an injury suffered in a fight with Jones) and signing free agents Steve Breaston and Keary Colbert. Jerheme Urban also returns after missing last season because of injury. Their presence could, along with a productive running game, mean fewer catches for Bowe but a more diversified passing game for the Chiefs.
Which Chief needs to step up: Defensive tackle Kelly Gregg
The 11-year defensive tackle could be a major key to the Chiefs' season. For Kansas City's 3-4 defense to be effective, it needs a noseguard like Gregg who can command double teams and hold his ground.
The Chiefs mixed and matched at the position the past two years, but Gregg is a legit 3-4 noseguard who spent nine seasons with the Ravens and understands the ins and outs of the scheme. Rex Ryan, one of his former coordinators in Baltimore, made a last-minute call to Gregg in hopes of luring him to the Jets this year, but Gregg opted to sign with KC because it's a short plane ride to his home in Oklahoma and because the Chiefs are, in his opinion, an up-and-coming team.
Another reason to focus on Gregg is that he'll be asked to tutor rookie Jerrell Powe, the heir apparent at the position who is expected to be part of the rotation. The Chiefs are also hoping that Gregg's experience and professionalism will help former top-5 picks Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson maximize their potential.
Predicted record: 9-7
The Chiefs will be a better team than in 2010 but will finish with a worse record. The reasons: They're still maturing and the schedule is daunting. Four of their first six games are on the road, including divisional games at San Diego and Oakland, where they lost 31-0 and 23-20 in OT last season. Overall, they'll play six teams outside the division that won at least 10 games a year ago, including 14-win New England, 12-win Pittsburgh, conference finalists Chicago and New York (Jets) and Super Bowl champion Green Bay.
